Recollected Self: Jaime Mahler on Breaking Toxic Cycles (Part 1)

Published: Nov. 27, 2023, 9 a.m.

Today\\u2019s episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Jaime Mahler, MS, LMHC, is a New York-based psychotherapist and mental health educator who recently published her book TOXIC RELATIONSHIP RECOVERY: Your Guide to Identifying Toxic Partners, Leaving Unhealthy Dynamics, and Healing Emotional Wounds After A Breakup.

She\\u2019s also the powerhouse behind the explosively popular social media brand, Recollected. Her podcast, \\u2018Unlearned,\\u2019 helps people of all sexual orientations and genders to heal from relationship trauma, narcissism, and beyond\\u2026certainly a lot of the BS we find ourselves tackling on this podcast.\\xa0

But today, in episode one of this two-parter, we\\u2019re focusing somewhat on Mahler\\u2019s past, which involved growing up with a self-described \\u201ccult-like version of Catholicism.\\u201d She revists the types of shame and guilt she experienced within religious surroundings, despite their being a shade less extreme than others we\\u2019ve encountered on this show. Even Jaime\\u2019s OCD played a role in her religious fervor by tricking her brain into believing one is either purely good or purely evil\\u2014wholy faithful or 100% a sinner\\u2014eventually leading to semi-neurotic level praying on a daily basis.\\xa0

Ultimately, Jaime\'s odyssey of self-discovery and faith, coupled with her distinguished therapeutic training, makes her our favorite type of guest: a badass individual who has directly encountered some culty shit, complemented by a sophisticated educational background that not only helped her understand her own experiences, but those of others, too.\\xa0
